Product Description
No.5 Continuous Zip in Pale Yellow
Gentle, cheerful, and versatile, this No.5 continuous zipper tape in Pale Yellow is a soft accent for handmade bags, accessories, and home décor projects. Sold by the ½ metre, it’s supplied in one continuous length when you order more than one unit, so you can cut exactly the right size. Each ½ metre includes one matching rectangular #5 pull; extra pulls are available separately, giving you flexibility to configure single- or double-pull zips as needed.
Crafted from nylon coil, this zip is both strong and flexible. It glides smoothly, curves neatly around gussets and boxed corners, and lies flat under top-stitching. Softer on machine needles than metal teeth, the No.5 coil (5 mm wide) provides the dependable durability bag makers need, while remaining light enough for smaller items such as pouches, organisers, and cushions.
Continuous zip tape allows for full customisation: cut to the exact length required, insert sliders from either direction, and tailor the closure to your project. With matching tape, coil, and pull all in Pale Yellow, this zip offers a coordinated finish. The colour pairs beautifully with pastels, florals, or children’s prints, and it brings a soft, sunny brightness to any design.

Maker’s notes
-
Use a zipper foot and a moderate stitch length for neat top-stitching.
-
Double-sided basting tape helps keep everything aligned while sewing.
-
Finish ends by folding the tape back and stitching, or enclose with a fabric tab.
-
Nylon coil can be stitched across safely; avoid this with metal zips.

Other Details
✨ Attaching a Zipper Pull
- Separate the ends of the zip tape by a few centimetres to give yourself space.
- Place the slider so the flat side faces upward and the curved side points down.
- Insert the first side of the tape into the slider until it catches.
- Line up the second side carefully and feed it into the opposite channel.
- Push both sides in gently until the teeth begin to mesh.
- Slide the pull along the tape to check it’s secure and moving smoothly.
✂️ Snip Snip Tip: For easier threading, cut about 5 mm of the zipper teeth off one side of the tape. Feed the longer side with the teeth into the slider first, then the trimmed side — the stagger helps the pull catch and align cleanly.
Alternative: Trimming both ends of the tape on a slight angle can also help. Seal the cut edges with a quick pass of heat or fray stop to prevent unravelling.
